MA work

My work explores how images, the object, imagination and reality relate to each other.

I am interested in the possibilities and opportunities that arise from working with digital technologies and traditional Korean ceramic aesthetics.

I use 3D modelling software to develop a method which I use to create new forms. The virtual screen is imagination itself. Through the digital process, the image becomes reality. Imagination is revealed in object.

I deploy an identical method which would produce a series of pieces, all of which are different.
